Question

Give antonyms for the following words from the extract i) outside ii) new iii) suspected vi) downward​

Answer 1

Answer:

The antonyms for the following words are listed below-

i. Outside: Inside

ii. New: Old

iii. Suspected: Know

iv. Downward: Upward

Explanation:

Antonyms mean words that mean the opposite of the given word.

Here, outside means external side, and the opposite of the word would obviously be a word that means internal side. "Inside" is the correct antonym for the word "outside".

Again, new refers to something that is recently found, discovered, or bought. The opposite of this word would mean a discovery or a thing that is not new. Hence, "old" is the word that means the opposite of the word "new".

Suspected means to assume something and not being sure about the same. The word that means the opposite of "suspected" is "know" as it suggests that one already knows about something and is not just suspecting it.

Lastly, downward means lower place or level. The word which means the opposite of down is up. Hence the antonym of "downward" is "upward".
